Chobani Yogurt is made in what used to be the Breyer plant in South Edmeston, by the Unadilla River on the way to Cooperstown. It is seriously good (my favorite is the peach flavor.) Like several other Chenango County employers, they are expanding and adding jobs. Excellent news for the area (even though, apparently, nobody told CNBC that it's New BERlin, not New BerLIN.)

I love Greek yogurt, but I'm finding it damn difficult to find any kind of full-fat dairy product. Full-fat Greek yogurt is amaaaaaaazing.
Make your own. I know where you could get 4.8% butterfat milk. And it would be raw, too, so it would cure all your diseases.
Uh, ok.
Uh, yourself. All you need is one of these:

I may even do it myself.
Maybe it will prevent Alzheimer's. Maybe it's too late.
Chobani is in every store in the city. And all the little cups say New Berlin on them!
I almost bought one, but it's ridiculously expensive. It's fricken yogurt. It forms by accident, for chrissakes.
It is expensive -- but it's so much better than the usual packaged yogurt that it's like a different food. We're going to see if we can make Greek yogurt that turns out as well. Will let you know!
I thought Greek yogurt was just yogurt that has been left to sit and the whey strains out of it leaving the yogurt thicker and creamier. I have a "yogurt strainer" that just cost a couple bucks, I've dumped other yogurt into it and let it drip into a bowl in the fridge for about 24 hours and I'm left with creamy even tastier yogurt. It's a little thicker than sour cream. I've then used it a bit like sour cream or like I might use cream cheese on a bagel. I never thought to just plain eat it like the expensive greek yogurt that I now buy and eat, but now I will.
FYI- my yogurt strainer is the size of and looks similar to a melita one cup coffee strainer. It's not fancy or expensive like the ones I just googled. I bet the straining could be done easily with cheesecloth over a mesh strainer or colander but this is probably way too much information.
